It Started With Hello

Chap. 48

"Your bracelets looks lovely dear" Ms. Black told Emma with a slight smile on her lips Emma simply smiles while looking down at her beaded bracelet decorated with different beads some pink and glittery others purple and heart shaped. Kandy nods in agreement "Thank you Ms. Black" Ms. Black smile shaking her head slightly "Please feel free to call me Nicole dear I think it's appropriate for how close you are with the family now" Emma loved Blake's parents they where do down to earth and with them it always felt homey. She couldn't help but think that Blake's parents purposefully separated them today to talk and needless to say she was more than alittle nervous "Thank you Nicole but I have it admit it's odd calling you by your first name. It will definitely take some getting used to for now I think I'll just keep calling you Ms. Blake" Nicole laughs nodding her head as if to say, fair enough. Emma always found it weird when grownups asked to be called them by their first names it just felt like something your not supposed to do. Emma looks to the side watching as Chris walks over towards them while Alex picks up his switch from a chair flopping back onto it "How's your head bae?" Kandy asks with a smirk on her lips as Chris reaches them. He sits beside her while rubbing the top of his head "Hope I don't have brain damage" Kandy laughs running her fingers through his red hair Alex looks over at him pouting "I said I was sorry!" thinking he genuinely hurt Chris. Kandy makes a statement about Chris being dramatic and to not worry about him one bit Chris and Kandy then bicker back and forth a few minutes making Emma laugh finding the back and forth funny "So do you have any plans once our trips over?" Ms. Black asked while Kandy holds up her yellow beaded bracelet showing it to Chris. Sadly Emma wasn't looking forward to going back she would have to deal with her parents rules and Jason crazy personally. And worst of all she couldn't be around Blake like she wants it was all pretty stressful to think about. But she didn't want to bring that all up right now "Umm I'll probably look for a job" she wanted her own money to buy her friends Christmas presents. She knew her parents would be opposed to the idea but getting a job would be great for her she just had to figure out a way around her mother and father. She thought while sliding her bracelet on look out over the water at the boat Blake and Mr. Black was on "That's great it's always good to start saving for college early Blake has told me and his father he wasn't interested in going to college and we're not planning on forcing him because he's working at the car repair shop" Emma couldn't help but be shocked that he didn't want to go to college. Going to college was not a requirement in life but her parents literally always had her believe it was, they wanted her to go to Princeton or Harvard in like law or doctor field. She couldn't be bothered though history was more her thing then law or heath care. She looks down playing with the bracelet between her fingers "I noticed you and Blake have gotten pretty close he never brought any girls around me and his dad before, I would say...your pretty special" she says with a soft smile before standing up walking over to the edge of the lake. Emma looks over at her curiously before her eyes notice Blake and his dad slowly making there way back. Chris and Kandy continue their conversation beside her but she paid them no mind. Her and Blake's eye's meet from afar Nicole's words replaying in her head making her blush. He sends her a dazzling smile making her heart skip a beat. Now she's gotten used to him being around it was going to be hard to go back home and pretend that they aren't close like he wasn't special to her.
